Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 224 Shadow Guard Thirteen.

After all, after being stabbed twice by his wife, it was really hard for Garuk to feel any sadness about his wife's death.

At this moment, Garuk was relieved rather than sad.

As a couple, if Rena hadn't died, it would have been difficult for him to deal with it.

After all, it was definitely not okay not to deal with this kind of betrayal, but dealing with it would make his daughter feel uncomfortable, and it would be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Oriana royal family.

It would be better to die, so that he could find some excuses to cover up what Rena did.

"That." Garuk looked at Elizabeth hesitantly.

"King Garuk, I'm sorry, the group of people who held the princess hostage have endangered the interests of the kingdom and put the kingdom in crisis. I can't compromise because the princess was held hostage." Elizabeth looked at Garuk and knew what he wanted to ask her, so she explained in advance.

After hearing Elizabeth's words, Garuk knew that his daughter did not take action.

For him, this was enough.

After all, if a daughter really killed her mother, it would be too cruel for Rose.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Elizabeth. By the way, what happened after you arrived at Seshu City? Why was the [Black Rose] still opened?" King Garruk only had the mind to care about other things at this moment.

However, he was interrupted by Elizabeth after he asked two questions.

"King Garruk, you can slowly ask Rose about the details later. As for the general situation, we took back the key, but because we knew little about the key, the Diabolos Cult took advantage of it.

But don't worry, although the [Black Rose] was opened and the monsters from another world also invaded the Kingdom of Oriana, all the monsters in the kingdom have been cleared by Rose and me. We came to meet you after confirming that there were no monsters." Elizabeth concluded.

"Is that so? Then I feel much more at ease. By the way, does your Excellency Elizabeth know the one who fought the giant monster in the sky?" Garuk asked immediately.

"I'm sorry, I don't know that person. She suddenly appeared in the sky, and I didn't notice whether she came from the other side of the [Black Rose] channel. But she saved us a lot of time.

Otherwise, I would have to stop that big guy and let Rose clean up the monsters that fell into the kingdom alone. In that case, I estimate that the damage and losses caused by the monsters would be greater." Elizabeth shook her head directly.

"That's a pity! I really want to express my sincere gratitude in person." The expression on Garuk's face was not a test, but a real regret.

After all, Zeta showed a strength that was almost like a moving natural disaster. If he could win her over, Garuk would have the confidence to say no to any country or force.

Originally, he thought Elizabeth knew him. After all, in his opinion, those who stopped the monsters from invading the Kingdom of Oriana must be friendly forces, so he subconsciously thought that Zeta was a helper called by Elizabeth, just like the big guy who treated him.

But he didn't expect Elizabeth to deny it directly.

It's a pity that they didn't get to know each other. After all, the Kingdom of Oriana was rescued by him once this time, which is a great favor that must be thanked.

"Father, let's hurry back to the capital. Such a big thing has happened. The capital urgently needs you to come forward to stabilize the political situation that has become turbulent." Rose said on the side.

"Yes, such a big thing has happened in the kingdom. We must rush back to the capital as soon as possible." After saying that, Garuk looked at Rose.

"Let the guards return on their own. I will take you back to the capital with the teacher." Rose certainly understood what her father meant, that is, to take the empty road.

"Okay, the current situation really requires us to rush back to the capital as quickly as possible." Garuk said this and gave instructions to the escort team. He was then carried on Rose's back, and then jumped into the air, then shot forward and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

"Captain Oga, what should we do next? Should we return to the capital quickly?" Seeing the princess carrying the king away, Oga's confidant stepped forward and asked quietly.

For this escort mission, the members of the escort team were actually quite speechless. After all, if Her Royal Highness had this kind of strength, it would have been much better to carry the king back from the Kingdom of Midgar. Why did they make such a hard trip?

"Return to the capital? Is your mind full of tofu dregs?" Oga glanced at his confidant and said speechlessly.

"Not returning to the capital?" The confidant asked puzzledly.

"Fool, didn't you hear what Her Excellency Elizabeth said? She and Princess Rose have cleared the monsters in the kingdom, so the most important thing now is to quickly enter the city of Sexiu that has been invaded by monsters, and then organize disaster relief in the name of the princess.

That is the future queen, and now is the best time to accumulate reputation. We can't let some shameless guys take the credit of Her Royal Highness. Do you understand what we have to do now?" Aoji asked his confidant.

"I understand, publicize Her Royal Highness's achievements, etc. Captain, don't we have to travel all over the kingdom in that case?" The confidant realized that he still had to travel for a long time.

"Stupid, it's enough to spread the word all the way back to the capital. How long do you think it will take for things to happen when we run through the entire kingdom?" Oga looked at his confidant and suddenly felt extremely tired.

It was clearly a meritorious thing, but after talking to him for a few words, he was not excited anymore, but felt extremely tired.

Reed also felt tired.

It was just a video call meeting. If he hadn't interrupted, Clyde would have had several fights with Alpha.

But Reed also understood that Alpha would not be willing to give up the fight with Claire for the position of the queen.

Reed also thought of a solution for this. After confirming the base camp, Claire would not be allowed to leave a split body in the shadow world.

In the future, after taking over this world, he will marry Alpha and let her be the queen of this world. Alpha will always be able to accept it.

"Sid, I didn't expect that the things I was worried about before have been dealt with so quickly." In a manor in the capital of Midgar, Claire looked at Reed and said.

"Isn't it normal to finish it? After all, they are all piled up together." Li De didn't quite understand what Claire meant by this.

"Sid, now that these things have come to an end, do you think we should go to the next mission now?" Claire asked Li De.

"Go to the next mission now?" Li De didn't expect Claire to be more anxious than him.     "Yes, with the efficiency of the nobles, even if something big happens, it is impossible to make a major change in the situation in just a few days, and even if it does happen, the split body can handle it on behalf of us.

And this time should be enough for us to solve the next mission. Sid, I'm not urging you, it's really that we don't have any points in reserve, and the Shadow Court will probably need several points of slave contracts in the future." Claire looked at Li De and said.

"Sister, you are not planning to take advantage of the Shadow Court staff, are you?" Li De asked Claire.

"Sid, Shadow Court was originally formed by you, but I found that many members don't know you, but only know the Seven Shadows. Alpha and the others are not doing well in this regard." Claire had contact with the girls of Shadow Court before, and she might have heard something to say this.

"So?" Li De looked at Claire and asked back.

"The situation where Alpha manages Shadow Court alone must be changed. After all, since she can't manage it well, she should let others participate in the joint management." Claire said confidently.

"In other words, sister, you hope that after the personnel contract of Shadow Court is signed, the personnel will be redistributed, is that right?" Li De roughly understood what Claire meant.

"Sid, I'm not targeting Alpha. In fact, Beta and Gamma have made great contributions to the Shadow Courtyard, but their current rights are not commensurate with their contributions. They are all demon-possessed people rescued by you. Why does Alpha have absolute say?

So I want to take this opportunity to reorganize the Shadow Courtyard. You should know that without Sid, you have developed a method to treat demon-possessed people, they will all become experimental subjects of the Diabolos Cult, and who knows where they will die miserably in the end.

Therefore, the lives of these people belong to you. What they should do most is not to fight with the Diabolos Cult, but to serve you well. Your will is their life goal, and they should not mistake the importance of you and the Diabolos Cult." Claire continued.

"Then if you, sister, were to reorganize the Shadow Courtyard, what would you do?" Li De asked after thinking about it.

"I will distribute the members who are willing to sign the contract equally. I, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Ipsilon, Zeta, Ita, Elizabeth, Victoria, Shiho, Fubuki and others will form 12 exclusive teams to protect you. Any action will be subject to your will." Claire said calmly.

"Sister, why did you miss Alexia?" Li De asked Claire.

"I don't think she is qualified to lead the team alone. She is only worthy of being a member of my team. It's that simple." Claire said coldly. It seems that she still hasn't solved the knot that Li De gave Alexia for the first time.

"Sister, how about adding one team to form the 13th Shadow Guard Team?" Li De looked at Claire and asked.

"Sid, do you like Alexia so much?" Claire asked reluctantly.

"Sister knows that I only like you the most, but you also know that any man has a special feeling for his first woman. It would be best if he can take care of her." Li De looked at Claire and said.

"That's why I hate Alexia." Claire showed her dislike for Alexia without any disguise.

"Isn't that okay?" Li De opened his eyes wide and looked at Claire with a pitiful look.

"How can I persist if you look at me like this, Sid! I really can't do anything about you, but you have to promise me that she can only be ranked last at any time and her ranking will never be improved, okay?" This time it was Claire's turn to look at Li De with a pleading look.

"Since you said so, I will definitely agree." Li De nodded naturally. After all, he really couldn't help Alexia get more.

You have to know that among the 13 Shadow Guard Teams that have been decided, except for Miyano Shiho and Fubuki, everyone else hates Alexia because of the first time.

However, since Claire cares so much, Li De will naturally not refuse her request.

Although Claire's tone was so domineering before, she actually kept observing Li De's expression when she spoke.

After all, even if she hated Alexia, she didn't want Li De to have any dissatisfaction because of Alexia.

Because of this, Li De didn't speak directly, but rarely acted cute and softened Claire's attitude.

"Sid, since you agree, when do you plan to reorganize the Shadow Courtyard?" Claire asked while the iron was hot.

"Then sister, when do you think it's appropriate?" Li De asked Claire back.

"After the next mission." Claire said with a serious expression.

"After the next mission, do you need to be so anxious?" Li De was stunned when he heard this.

"Sid, since the reorganization will be carried out sooner or later, it is better to do it sooner. Anyway, more than half of the thirteen captains already have their own contractors, so there is no need to wait any longer, right?

After the next mission is completed and 500 points are obtained, except for the 100 points reserved for unexpected events, the rest can be used to increase the quota, so that 40 new contractors can be added.

Add the 40 points you have left, and distribute them evenly. Each captain can get at least 4 contractors, and at least a team of five to six people can be formed, and the framework of the Shadow Guard Thirteen Team can be built first.

After that, you only need to complete the mission continuously, and you can continuously select suitable personnel from the Shadow Courtyard and even other worlds for expansion. Sooner or later, the scale of the Shadow Guard Thirteen Team will be expanded." Claire seemed to have considered it seriously.

"Then do as my sister said." Li De nodded immediately.

After all, the idea of ​​the Shadow Guard Thirteen Team proposed by Claire is beneficial to him in every way, and it can be regarded as a reintegration and optimization of the forces that currently belong to him.

As for why Claire came up with such a plan, Reed knew very well that it was nothing more than to divide the power in Alpha's hands.

In fact, Reed knew very well that Alpha did not miss these rights.

If Claire was not too aggressive, she would not be so tit-for-tat.

However, as long as Reed promised to give her a grand wedding that belonged to her in the real world, Alpha would definitely be willing to give in to Claire.

Definitely!
